AN uNwELcoME AMERICAN.

All Germany Afflicted With a Colorado
LONDON, July "a While England has
her share of Transatlantic disturbers
in the shape of Wild West Shows, Amer
ican actresses and ladies frantic to be
presented at court, or noticed by the
prince of Wales, the agriculturalists of q
portion of Germany are lamenting a more
serious American invasion in the pres
ence of the long dreaded Colorado beetle,
which now seems to have come to stay
while the residents of the territory not
yet attacked awaits its advent with fear
and trembling. An American gentleman
who arrived here from Saxony says that
the beetle has fairly gained q foot hold al
last, despite the efforts which the Ger
man government has used for the last
decade to keep the dreaded pest from it's
domains. In previous years heroic meas
ures were used. In fields where the
beetle had made its appearance the crops
were appraised, ts be afterwards paid for
by the government, the vines We're pulled
together, drenched with petroleum and
destroyed by fire.
The seaports were made objects Of es-
pecial precaution and tile mails were
carefully watched as persons In America
frequently sent to friends, or relatives,
specimens of the ten-lined and seemingly
ten-lived insects as curiosities.. In the
face of all these efforts to keep him out,
however, the insect has eluded the em-
barge and taken up his residence in
Germany. The German farmer lacks the
persistency and ingenuity of the Ameri-
can granger, and, being accustomed to
rely upon the government for protection
in such an emergency in most cases folds
his hands in despair as he contemplates
the havoc wrought by this latest infiic-
zion. The damage to the crops will be
serious this season and may be ruinous
next year. AS the beetle made his way
across the Atlantic leisurely, he will
doubtless ia his own good time appear to
the jewellers on the shores of the Medi-
terranean, the Caspian, and the Pacific.

Last Heard From STANLEY.

LIsnos, July 23.-A dispatch from, st.
Paul de Leonda states that Stanley ar
rived at Aruwhimi May %, the fotglla

Its engines and was to return on June 5
to Leopoldyille for repairs and then re-
turn to Aruwhimi, taking the stores let
at Stanley Pool and the men left vt

Economical science occurred here one day
last week, which, from the light it throws
upon the hitherto open question Of the
liability of the other planets, will prove
of great value to science. At 7:15 O'Clock

metal ball or ~aerolite on the surface of

give conclusive evidence OF its having

scarcely believe my, eyes, but there was
no installing facts. There upon the
surface of the stran.e ball was a deepIy-
craven circle within which was q four
